Description

Skibbereen is getting ready for GDPR! Spearline Risk & Compliance will run a free workshop on what is General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in conjunction with Skibbereen and District Chamber of Commerce at The West Cork Hotel 6.30pm, Tuesday 17 April. Once again Skibbereen, Ireland’s first 1 gigabyte town is keeping ahead of the curve with all things digital. Skibbereen will be on track to become the first town in the EU to get GDPR ready in this expert led workshop.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new piece of EU legislation which comes into effect on 25 May 2018. Ultimately GDPR is a positive development as it protects the rights of every EU citizen when it comes to their data. GDPR does mean that businesses have to brush up on data protection knowledge so that they do not incur a fine for non-compliance. At 4% of the annual turnover this fine could put someone out of business!
